VAI Breeding 2009

Tough last month; we have had flu in and out of our household. But still getting ready for lambs! Cleaning the barn, baby lambs tags came in the mail, spring shots for the ewes, upping the quality of the hay. Only 25 days

Looking forward to lambing season, so we have added a column of due dates to our chart. We will be starting the spring vaccinations in the next few weeks, and checking on our lambing supplies for the season. I love this time of year!

We had a bad run of recycles recently, and so will almost certainly not be getting our usual take rate. Then we just had three hold their AI pregnancies in a row, so that was more hopeful. But our cleanup rams are getting plenty of business!

Well, the recycling season has begun. :-( Our first ewe recycled today, but so far the ewe AI'ed the same day has not, so I am still, (ever) hopeful! Thankfully we have three great rams available for cleanup, 305W a polled Ormurson, spotted black, 311W a polled solid moorit Orvarson, and a spectacular horned white Alfur son, 321W. All three are packed with muscle, with heavy, thel-rich fleeces. You can see them at Breeding Ram Flock .

Here is our breeding plan for the 2009 season. You will see the breedings get dated as the season goes on; so far these are the crosses that are planned. There is a VAI sire choice in most cases, followed by a farm ram choice should the ewe not catch with the AI. Some ewe are not scheduled for AI but will go immediately to a farm breeding. You can read up on our new rams at breeding ram flock 2009 and of course the ewes are described on our breeding ewe page.

We are accepting $100 deposits in order to get on the lamb reservation list; one, $100 deposit reserving the choice of one lamb. The reservations are taken in order and allow the buyers to choose from the lamb list in turn. First deposit in, gets first choice of the lamb list come spring, second deposit, second choice, etc. ~ Our current deposit status: We have 28 deposits in so far; a mix of horned and polled choiceds. ~ Please remember that if you make a deposit, and it turns out that you do not find a lamb on the spring list that meets your requirements, we will promptly return your deposit at that time. Deposits can also be used on any adults offered for sale this year. We will be selling down our ewe flock a bit this year, so there will be some excellent adult choices on the list.

Remember that as of 11/15/07, F1 lambs no longer have to stay in the Voluntary Scrapie Program. Any flock owner can now purchase lambs out of the AI program without any governmental involvement. We are in the program with flock number MA-10 and have are certified. Purchasers who are in the program will not lose status by purchasing out of our flock, and those who choose not to be in the program can now buy lambs that are farm or AI bred, no restrictions!

EWE	AI RAM	FARM RAM	BREEDING DATE	LAMBING DATE	NOTES	LAMBS
BLW-202J	Ljomi		11/19/09	04/12/10	Claire is our oldest ewe and looks good! She looks so good we have brought her back out of retirement, hoping for one more year. She is a triplet Skjanni daughter, carries solid and spotting. Ljomi is homozygous white polled with 9 scores on his rump and wool, and 8.5's on neck/shoulder, chest, back and symmetry. He is a Hnokki son, and his lambs have an excellent composite carcass score of 114, and his daughters are milky.	Lambs will be white, but build is very good in both parents, as is milkiness, so this cross is very promising. We really hope this AI holds as we would love to keep a lamb out of Claire and Ljomi! Lambs could inherit solid and or spotting from Claire.
BLW-100K Shannon		BLW-321W	12/01/09	04/24/10	A beautiful, large, deep-bodied and chesty ewe showing her 1/4 Thettir heritage. Thettir is famous as a father of daughters and it shows! Outstanding, attentive mother. Carries solid and moorit, poss. homozygous for moorit. Her lambs are always well built. 321W has an amazing build reflecting the muscling score of 120/100 for his sire Alfur.	Both parents looks to carry recessives for pattern, so lambs can be color, white, or white carrying color. Build should be great! Lambs will be 1/4 Alfur, 1/8 each Grimur and Thettir, plus 1/64 Heli, totals 33/64.
BLW-118K Bessie		BLW-321W	12/08/09	05/01/10	Bess is a dependably outstanding mother, which she passes on to her own daughters. She is a Molur daughter with a particularly good leg.

Very strong line for parasite resilience. 11/16 AI, 1/2 Arfi, 1/16 each Flotti, Sveppur, Heli. Her fleece is outstanding! Mokollur is solid moorit with particularly strong back score. His daughters are very fertile and milky, and the wool on his lambs scores well.	Moorit! Either solid or moorit gray. Great traits on both sides. Wool should be excellent. 27/32 AI with Mokollur, Arfi, Flotti, Sveppur and Heli - what a mix!
BLW-911S Bear		BLW-321W	12/04/09	04/27/10	Bear is huge, chesty, full of build with a particularly good back and shoulder.

BLW-137T		BLW-305W	12/01/09	04/24/10	An outstanding ewe: Promising blend of AI lines, 1/2 Hnokki plus 1/8 Heli. She twinned an a yearling, and all three of them breezed through the parasite season. Really unusual for dam and twins, when mom is a yearling, so this line is very strong for parasite resilience. Beautiful fleece, carries solid and moorit. 305W is 3/4 AI, Ormur on Dalur with a heavy, downy fleece, and very good muscling.	Lambs will be solid or white carrying solid, moorit and/or spotting possible. Great mix of top-notch polled sires, 1/4 each Hnokki and Ormur, 1/8 Dalur and 1/16 Heli for 11/16 total.

BLW-150T	Throttur		11/11/09	04/04/10	Legspot is a result of linebreeding to Solee, reaching 3/8 of our treasured matriarch. It really shows as she was an outstanding yearling mother, and her daughter 213U is great, great, great. Throttur is white carrying solid and moorit, excellent carcass score of 124.6!! Daughters 105 and 106 for fertility and milk.	Lambs can be solid, maybe gray?, or white, probably carrying a recessive. 150T is VERY milky so this is a cross of strength on strength for that. Hoping that Throttur will put a bit more size on the lambs as that is Leg Spot's only flaw, her average size. Maternal qualities should be great with this cross!
BLW-166T	Bjalki		11/23/09	04/16/10	166T is 1/4 Kari, (explains her spectacular fleece), 1/8 each Heli and Serkur; total 1/2 AI, plus a Solee granddaughter and great, great-granddaughter. Excellent mother; clearly following in the family tradition. Bjalki is a Raftur son, a strong recommendation! His lambs have a composite carcass score of 126.4/100, so very strong.

Strong parasite resilience. 311W is an Orvar son out of our Hnokki daughter 137T. Also some Heli from 137T, so 311W is 13/16 AI. Orvar has a conformation score of 87 and 137T is well muscled with particularly good muscle on her rump, leg and shoulders, so no surprise that 311W is perhaps our best polled ram lamb this year. Leg packed with muscle, a long and wide loin and a smoothly muscled shoulder. His fleece is heavy and packed full of downy thel.	Lambs will be moorit! This is a linebreeding to 137T, our star of an Hnokki daughter. Half sibling to half sibling is the backbone of a linebreeding program, so don't be afraid of this cross. I'm not and hope to keep a lamb for our own flock.
BLW-213U		BLW-311W	12/03/09	04/26/10	213U is a Mori granddaughter and a Grimur great-granddaughter, 3/8 AI, carrying solid and moorit.

Lambs will be white, carrying badgerface or solid, possibly moorit and spotting. A real strength on strength cross for maternal qualities, plus the top carcass scores of Kjoi, so if these are top criteria for you, then watch these lambs! A ram lamb from this cross could be a great flock sire for you. 51/64th AI blood.
BLW-230U		BLW-305W	12/06/09	04/29/10	230U is 1/4 Rektor, 1/16 Flotti, plus 1/8 each Flekkur and Hnykill for 9/16 total. 230U must carry badgerface or solid pattern, plus spotting, moorit likely. 305W is 3/4 AI, Ormur on Dalur with a heavy, downy fleece, and very good muscling.	Lambs will be 21/32 AI with a rich mix of sires. Badgerface or solid possible. White lambs would carry solid and spotting. 230U might be homozygous for spotting, so colored lambs will probably be spotted. Excellent maternal qualities from both parents.
BLW-236U		BLW-321W	clean-up		236U carries spotting; could carry moorit. 1/2 Blettur, 1/8 Flotti. She only needed worming once last summer, and not at all this summer.
BLW-239U	~	BLW-311W	11/19/09	4/12/10	239U is 1/2 Ormur, plus 1/16 each Heli, Sveppur and Flotti, 11/16 AI. She has size, fleece and color. Molly has not needed worming this summer with top scores. 311W is an Orvar son out of our Hnokki daughter 137T. Also some Heli from 137T, so 311W is 13/16 AI. Orvar has a conformation score of 87 and 137T is well muscled with particularly good muscle on her rump, leg and shoulders, so no surprise that 311W is perhaps our best ram lamb this year. Leg packed with muscle, a long and wide loin and a smoothly muscled shoulder. His fleece is heavy and packed full of downy thel.	Moorit or moorit! Either gray or solid, spotting also possible.
BLW-248U	Bjalki		11/19/09	4/12/10	248U carries solid and moorit from her dam. She is 1/2 Ljufur, 1/8 each Rektor and Kari, 1/16 Serkur, totals 13/16. Ljufur is a new ram that has really impressive numbers. He is too young for daughter results yet, but his score is an amazing 86, including 9.0 on his neck and shoulders, back and rump, and an incredible 18.5 on his leg! Bjalki is a Raftur son so has thick thel and great carcass scores, 118 for muscle, 132 for leanness, totals 126.4/100 - wow!	Lambs could be solid moorit, or white carrying. Solid black possible. 29/32 AI with Ljufur, Bjalki, Rektor, Kari and Serkur. Build is very promising for these lambs. A ram lamb from this cross would be an excellent investment as a flock sire. Strong wool genetics from both parents.

FFC-596U	~	BLW-321W	11/21/09	04/14/10	As a Hvellur daughter, 596U is all brawn!
